They don't need to - one altruist simply needs to upload the plans for a self-perpetuating robot online and you'll be able to make your own (or have a friend make it for you). LinkPizza posted... It's just that people will start living a terrible life because not enough people can make money... And I don't know why you think there won't be humans that require compensation. Humans will require compensation for as long as they require other humans to do things to facilitate their survival. As soon as robots take over industries needed for human survival (food production, housing, etc.), that no longer holds true. LinkPizza posted... But Kodak failed of more than just the shift to digital. Sure, but the shift to digital is generally accepted as the main reason they went bankrupt. LinkPizza posted... But the actual product of digital cameras was good, which is why they're still around to this day. They were a Fortune 500 company that employed 140,000 employees worldwide in the 1980s; they currently employ roughly 20,000 employees, had to declare bankruptcy, and make less than 10% of what they did just 15 years ago. Saying "they're still around" is grossly misrepresenting their current state and how well they weathered the technology shift from film to digital. LinkPizza posted... And in the end, they never actually made the full organization digital for a while, if ever. Which is another reason they failed. >Says they failed for a lot more reasons than the shift to digital. >Starts talking about how the shift to digital killed them. Do you even know what you're arguing at this point? LinkPizza posted... This shouldn't even be a question. What shouldn't even be a question? Please provide context to your sentences or quote what you're responding to, because otherwise it's impossible to tell what you're talking about when you suddenly change subjects like this. LinkPizza posted... And when I said, "Just because some know how to program doesn't mean they are do." It was just a simple typo. I meant, "Just because some know how to program doesn't mean they all do." Should have been pretty easy for most people to figure out. Again, don't get upset at me for your own bad grammar. Proofread your posts next time. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
